Boston College MSN/NP program question

Hey guys,

I'm doing some fact finding about grad schools in MA and heard from a friend of mine that BC requires its grad students to maintain a B average or better and, if they don't, they're kicked out of the program.

I know BC requires an undergrad average of at least a B, but I hadn't heard of the latter.

Does anyone know this to be true? Just curious.

Thanks.

Hi,

I am in the grad program at BC.

A Grade Point Average of (GPA) of 3.0 is required. If the GPA falls below 3.0 the student will be on academic review. Students receiving an “F” in one course or two (2) courses of “C” also will be placed on academic review. Academic review may result in recommendations that coursework be repeated, that the student be placed on academic probation, or that the student be dismissed from the program. If you receive a C in a class you receive a warning letter stating that if you get another C you will be put on academic probation.

This is taken right out of the handbook that is available online.

Thanks for that. I wish we could delete posts after they'd been made because someone private messaged me the answer to my question only a few days after I had posted it and I just forgot to get back to the thread! Oh well.

I've since spoken with a bunch of people (professors, admin people) affiliated with programs at a few different schools to get more info as well.

Thanks for your response.

Question has been answered, everyone. No need to post anymore responses. :) Thanks again!
